Play your iPod through any FM radio--including your car stereo--with thisMaxell digital FM transmitter. The unit is easy to use: just plug the transmitter into youriPod's 30-pin dock connector, then choose an empty (i.e., unused) FM frequency onyour radio dial. Once you set the transmitter to the same frequency, you'll hear yourfavorite iPod songs through your car or home stereo speakers, all without hassling withcumbersome cables. Listeners are assured of a crisp sound thanks to the high-stabilitycrystal oscillator and phase-locked loop control, which keep the transmitter locked tothe correct frequency. And it's easy to store several favorite FM frequencies in thetransmitter thanks to the 10 memory presets. Other details include a 60-second auto-offfunction that preserves your iPod's battery power, a pass-through plug that lets youconnect other accessories (like a charging unit) to the bottom of the transmitter, and aneasy-to-read display. The FM transmitter, which is compatible with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G,iPod photo, iPod video, iPod nano, and iPod mini, carries a 90-day warranty againstdefects.

Belkin Tunecast Auto Universal with Clearscan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, it's tough to review a product when the entire category is, by definition, mediocre. FM Transmitters will never sound good. FM itself is a lower quality than most of the MP3s people will be plugging into this. Next up, in many areas, the spaces between FM stations are tight, and there's interference from adjacent channels and/or distant stations on channel. And finally, transmission power is low, due to their FCC status as unlicensed transmitters. So does this unit have static? Yes. Does the audio sound compressed and lacking in frequency range? Yes. Does volume fluctuate and signal drop out as you drive around? Yes. And do you have to find a new station every 50-100 miles on a road trip? Yes.
But these units serve a purpose. Basically, if you have any better way to pump your audio into your stereo, you should use it. USB port, iPod adapter, Aux input, and arguably even a tape deck adapter would all qualify as better. But if you're in a car that has none of these options, this is better than nothing. If it's your own car, I'd look into getting an iPod adapter or Aux input added. Most cars can have one added aftermarket, though costs vary and can be high. But if you can't afford it, or if you want something to use in rentals, friends' cars, or anywhere else there's an FM radio, this is probably as good a choice as any. I got it at a good price on Black Friday. I have an iPod input on my current car, but don't have an Aux port for use with my Evo. Even though I'm probably going to replace my car soon and should then have both an iPod and aux port, I'm keeping this so I have something if I need to take a rental or want to bring some tunes along in a friend's car. It's far from perfect, but nothing beats the universal compatibility of an FM transmitter.
On an absolute scale of audio quality, it's a 1 or a 2. Compared to almost any other way of getting audio into your stereo, it's a 1 or a 2. But on universal compatibility, it's a 5. And relative to other FM transmitters, it's probably a 4 or a 5. It works with anything, not just iPods, it has a USB port to pass through charging whatever you're using, and it has a feature to scan for open stations that works moderately well. I can't give it 5 stars overall because it just doesn't sound great, but it sounds about as good as you'll probably get from a unit like this. If you need it, it's a decent choice.

Tunecast Auto Universal FM Transmitter for MP3 Players Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for more money than it is here on Amazon. This works great for me. I have had it about 2 months now and is great for listening to audiobooks. One trick - if your mp3 player is like mine it has 2 different volume settings. I usually listen to it on the "normal" setting with my earphones. For using this fm transmitter I switch the volume setting on my mp3 to "High" and turn the volume up on my sansa mp3 as high as possible. This way I don't have any static at all on the radio as I listen. After doing this setting change I love it.
